In The Cosmic Web, N. Katherine Hayles seeks to establish the scope of the field concept and to assess its importance for contemporary thought. She then explores the literary strategies that are attributable directly or indirectly to the new paradigm; among the texts at which she looks closely are Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Nabokov's Ada, D. H. Lawrence's early novels and essays, Borges's fiction, and Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. 606 $aLiterature and science 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aLiterature and science. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.93356 700 $aHayles$b N.
